GoPro Hero+ LCD review

GoPro considers the Hero+ LCD an entry-level camera and, looking at its specs and capabilities, it has stripped of much of what you'd find on the higher-end Hero4 Silver and Black models.

The GoPro Hero+ LCD puts a live-view touchscreen on the back of a camera that's capable of very good 1080p video capture at 60 frames per second. Built-in wireless lets you use your phone or tablet to remotely control the camera.

The camera is permanently in its polycarbonate housing; the battery is nonremovable; limited shooting options compared with others in its price range and a significant drop in features and performance from the $400 Hero4 Silver.

The GoPro Hero+ LCD isn't exactly a bargain for its entry-level specs, but if you appreciate a streamlined feature set and its built-in touchscreen, it's worth the extra money over the very basic Hero.

GoPro Hero+ LCD review: A view of the action for less money

At $100 less than the Hero4 Silver -- GoPro's other touchscreen camera -- you're definitely saving some coin here, but its streamlined entry-level feature set and design make it less of a bargain.

GoPro Hero+ LCD review

The GoPro Hero+ LCD is a solid entry-level GoPro but you might find the non-removable casing cumbersome

The Muvi K2 NPNG has more included accessories (and support for GoPro mounts) but the Hero+ LCD has better image quality and a superior companion app. In any case, with both you’re getting very capable action cameras for not a lot of money.
